Interesting - don't patients have a right to see their medical scans in full quality under HIPAA [1]? I have successfully requested DICOM files from an MRI scan I did (although it was from a study, not a hospital). [1] http:/&#x2

Tldr: if a vehicle is on a collision course with you, it will always be in the same position of your field of view, so there may not be enough apparent motion to draw your attention. To combat this, slow down a bit as you approach intersect

I would say that this does in some way gratify my intellectual curiosity. I hope to never find myself in this situation, but it's good to have some guidelines if I ever do.

I was just about to say the same! I've been VERY happy with my AWS static hosting via cloudfront. It's cheap, fast, and reliable. I can even deploy my site from the command line with this [1]! It's very fast because it only p

Very true. Both are global companies, even though their headquarters are there. I wonder what fraction of their income can be attributed to the SV area, and how that translates to their contributions to the GDP.

Crazy to think that Google accounts for ~10% of that [1]. [1] http://www.investopedia.com/articles/investing/020515/busine...

This is accurate. I've seen people use multiple levels of simulation complexity. That way they can learn the basics in a simple environment and use that as a prior for the more complex (and therefore slower/more costly to run) sim

Is it broken on my iPhone or is it just a tilted map with a circle overlaid? There's a screenshot on the linked site which leads me to believe that is the indented behavior. Doesn't seem that similar to PG, as the title implies.

Divide by blur is very crafty. Will have to give that a shot next time I have a similar need in Photoshop.

I wonder if an IQ test would be able to meaningfully capture the difference between the two groups, considering that Google kung fu is only helpful for a certain set of tasks that in my experience are often very macro-scale.

This is very true. I'm curious what kinds of evolutionary biology impacts technologies like Google's search engine have on humanity. Before the internet, there was a large motivation to memorize information in order to quickly ret

They spelled "Verily" wrong in the 3rd paragraph (they wrote "Verity"). That's where I stopped reading.

Sometimes, this might be the case, however after the nth time of nicely saying "oh btw you can just do [insert shortcut] and find it right away!" it's hard to not get frustrated. I have definitely worked with people who for w

What I find most appalling about Windows 10 is the draconian "default install" options. Seriously, how did having a key logger as the default option get through privacy review? Also desktop ad tracking? I said no to three solid sc

Hi there. I would like to turn your attention to this excellent paper on hand gesture recognition [1]. I ran across it in my foray into hand tracking and gesture recognition with the Kinect. I implemented the Fourier descriptors described i

Honestly it seems like a reasonable system. That kind of waste will decompose extremely quickly.

I am very tempted to try to acquire one. Seems like it would be a great portable development machine. For robotics work I always end up wanting a small but decent computer to run my ROS visualizations/algorithms and to make small code

As a person who in robotics, believe me when I say that I am interested in these technologies being developed and tested. That said, I am aware that a major PR battle is the last thing that the industry needs right now. I think that Tesla i

I would assert that you cannot make that claim, as there is no statistically significant evidence in support of it.

I keep seeing the "130 million miles of Autopilot control per fatality" statistic, especially in the context of "look these cars are better than humans" but I think this is incredibly disingenuous. First of all, you can&

Correct, fast, and maintainable C code is a very tall order. Good luck finding ANYONE who can do that consistently for a reasonable paycheck.
